We’re excited to present the latest version of our sought-after Brain Boosters deck with enhancements based on our customers’ valuable feedback!
V2.1 came in a sleek box with a lid which provided a secure way to store and protect the cards. V2.2
includes an open-ended side for easy access to the cards with a key ring, making them neat and easy to carry. While our packaging has been updated, the cards still deliver the same brain-boosting content you know and love!
Developed over several years at Hull Services, the Brain Booster deck outlines a set of enrichment activities intended to provide a targeted positive activation of key systems in the brain. The four broad categories of activities are matched to the four functional domains of the brain outlined by Dr. Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model. These activities support self-regulation and sensory integration when used in the context of positive relationships.
This deck allows therapists, educators, parents, and caregivers to select an activity that meets the developmental needs of the child.
For pick-up in the Calgary area, please contact communications@pathwaystoprevention.ca and indicate which version you would like to order. Local pick-up costs $60 per deck.
“I love the Brain Booster deck! I have used it with colleagues, children and families to develop new tools and routines for regulation that fit with the client’s preferences. The card format makes them easy to shuffle and turn into matching and turn-taking games. The clear labels and explanations make the rationale for each activity accessible to caregivers. They have a permanent place in my therapy toolbox!” ~ Julia Bantimba, Occupational Therapist Napa Infant Parent Mental Health Faculty, Berkeley, CA
“Brain Boosters are a fantastic ‘at your fingertip’ resource to quickly find fun and creative activities that can help children and families manage their feelings in the moment. I’ve had my set almost a year and they get used every day.” ~ Michelle Taylor, Director & Clinical Psychologist, Blossomtree Psychology, Creswick Foundation Fellow
